Sukuna, who had finished a sparring match with Izuku, lay down on the couch after taking a shower and relaxing.
Since he had nothing else to do – he had checked his texts, nobody available – he continued to experiment with Cursed Energy.
At first, the thin strings of Cursed Energy he manifested out of his body were little more than fists.
Fists that continously drained his reserves and almost left him with nothing after 2 hours of usage, which made them incredibly inefficient in a battle.
Sukuna wanted to fix the cost problem with a binding vow, but he found out the hard way that they didn’t exist in this reality.
Sukuna also had the vague intuition that if he broke any binding vows he had made in his previous life, the backlash in this reality would be much, MUCH harsher.
So he didn’t do anything about it.
He just continued to train and refine his efficiency and control with Cursed Energy, until he could comfortably manifest 2 extra arms for an entire day.
Granted, they were the size of a toddlers arm each, but still.
Progress was progress, considering the fact that Sukuna only had this idea 2 months ago.
The reason why he only started actually training this idea is because of the fact that he had regained the strength of his prime self, and even surpassed it.
If there was a measure beyond 20 fingers, then Sukuna was sure he was sitting comfortably at a level of 25 fingers.
Not much improvement, but it was improvement nonetheless.
Considering the fact that he was not focusing on control, he was going to truly start min-maxxing now – or atleast that’s what Izuku told him what the term meant -.
____________________ The scene shifted, showing various scenes of Sukuna’s classmates also training throughout the 2 week break that they were given.
Mirio was continously using Permeation, until he had achieved his goal, which was increasing the duration in which he was using Permeation for about an hour.
Nejire did basic exercises, to increase her endurance and stamina, which was what her Quirk relied on.
Tamaki continued to eat octopus after octopus, before switching to eating all sorts of animals, so he wouldn’t run out of his Quirk anytime soon.
Yuyu, inspired by Sukuna’s flame arrow, continously refined her control over her Quirk, which allowed her to shape and discharge electricity in the form of an electric arrow.
Her electric arrows were finally at the size of her arm, since she could barely produce an electric arrow that was the size of her fist earlier.
Tamashi, like Nejire, continued to train with Mirio and Tamaki, the “Sukuna special” training schedule shaping him up even further.
Tsuki, remembering her earlier conversation with Sukuna,began to train as well.Her quirk couldn’t manipulate regular sunlight, which left her to continously store and harvest light reflected from the moon at nighttime.
Yasashi Taiyo, remembering how easily Sukuna shrugged off pain from the Nomu stabbing his shoulder, got another burst of motivation to continue increasing his strength.
He was training at a Quirk Gym.
Keiko Marin, reading up on Sukuna’s notes to improve her language, also trained and didn’t laze around.
She had a special Quirk, which allowed her to harden her hair into sharp objects.
She increased the amount of strands she could harden from 3 to 9, grateful for her classmates help.
Murasaki Hiyori, despite her lazy nature, also trained seriously this time.
When it came to the Sports Festival, she wanted to rank atleast in the top 10 with her Quirk – which allowed her to enhance her eyesight, granting her a near perfect ability to replicate anything she sees with a single glance -.
Oshare Yuki was no different from her classmates, wanting to prove her undying love for Sukuna by winning him over in the Sports Festival.
She, like Yuyu, trained her control, since her Quirk was nothing to scoff at.
Yuki could gather kinetic energy, before releasing it from any part of her body.
Some kinetic energy got lost in the expulsion process, which she managed to reduce from about 30% to 20%.
All in all, Class 1-B was seriously fired up for this Festival…!
With the sole exception of Ryomen Sukuna, of course.
He only continued to train Izuku in spear techniques, since he liked abusing the actual wooden spears that they had access to now.
Not because he liked to beat his little brother around.
Definitely not.
____________________ Sukuna, over the past 2 weeks, has finally been able to form a fully functional arm.
Don’t get him wrong, the toddler arms worked just fine, but the problem was..
He couldn’t move their fingers around, which meant he couldn’t do any handsigns with them.
Now?
He flexed his third arm, made of pure Cursed Energy, as it formed under his right arm, right next to his waist.
Sukuna smiled, forming a casual handsign with it, as he extended the arm by pouring in a little more Cursed Energy and using it to grab a knife from the kitchen – he was in the living room -.
The process freaked out Inko, but she soon calmed down after realizing it was Sukuna and his usual shenanigans.
Sukuna also found a neat trick with his fully functioning arm, as he let it dissipate and then instantly formed it under his left arm this time.
He could use this to switch arms mid-combat, essentially beating down on an opponent with 4 arms.
He smiled.
‘One arm down, one more to go.’ He thought with joy, as he looked down at his own abs, smirking.
‘And soon, a mouth shall appear.
Oh yeah, it’s all coming together now.’ Sukuna’s smirk widened, as he checked the date for today, knowing it was the Sports Festival, but still, it never hurt anybody to check.
Confirming his thoughts, Sukuna stood up from his bed, putting some clothes on and heading out for school.
U.A won’t know what hit them.
____________________ The Sports Festival was an annual event held by U.A high school to showcase its students abilities, so that Pro Heroes can scout them out for an internship.
It was a simple system that gave experience to a student and teaching experience to the Pro in question, while also allowing them to have this chance at being scouted three times.
The principal oversees the senior stages, while the teachers are assigned to multiple stages.
It was held in a wide stadium, which featured countless people, who have come to see the fearless class 1-B and the student in particular who had defeated a villain.
Midoriya Sukuna.
The same Sukuna, who was standing there in the field annoyed, hands in pocket.
The people were all looking at him like he was an animal in an exhibit, which annoyed him to no end.
Soon, however, one of U.A’s teachers, Present Mic walked up onto the stage and gave a loud welcome to the spectators.
“WHATS UP, MY FELLOW CITIZENS AND HEROES-IN-TRAINING!
THIS DAY MARKS THE BEGINNING OF A NEW SPORTS FESTIVAL, ONE IN WHICH WE’VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE!” His loud voice annoyed Sukuna even further.
‘How the hell am I gonna get through this?’ CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Hamood0831 And so it begins..
